You Don't Have to Run an Exploit to Know If You're Vulnerable
Overview
The article discusses a method called TTP chaining, which helps organizations assess their vulnerability to cyber attacks without the need to run potentially harmful exploits. Many organizations are unable to test their systems directly due to the risk involved, especially if the systems are critical. By validating the attack techniques that an exploit relies on, companies can better understand their security posture and determine the potential for exploitation. This approach allows for a safer evaluation of vulnerabilities, which is particularly important for organizations that cannot afford downtime or disruptions. It emphasizes the need for proactive security measures in a landscape where threats are constantly evolving.

Original Article Summary
Many vulnerabilities cannot be safely validated with live exploits, either because no exploit exists or the affected systems are too critical to test. Picus explains how TTP chaining helps organizations determine exploitability by validating the attack techniques an exploit depends on, without launching the exploit itself. [...]
